Get to Work - Switch Gears one week campaign had to be postponed due to unforseen circumstances - The challenge is on, but the week of October 3 - 7!

travel to work differently - use ride sharing, bus riding, bike riding, walking, instead of single-use vehicle! It is healthy and eco-friendly.

If you participate, don't forget to fill out a tracking sheet so we can see how much CO2 we saved - and in the long run how much gas money was saved!

Sustainable transportation initiative - Loyalist College

We plan to start a movement like that in the city of Peterborough where they run a competition and campaign named "Peterborough Moves - Get to work differently". Following their model, we hope to begin our own movement in Belleville; "get to work - switch gears" - and encourage alternate means of transportation.

Oct 3 to 7, 2011 Travel to Loyalist in a sustainable way.

What are the possibilities: bike, jog, walk, take the bus.  If you live too far away or there is a big hill in the middle of your path arrange to carpool with someone or arrange with your boss to work from home a day or two.
